Shares of Exicure surged in post-market trading after the company said it was granted a Nasdaq listing extension.
The stock rose 167% to $6.11 from its regular session close of $2.29. That left the shares down 21% this year.
The company said after the close it was granted an extension subject to showing compliance with all applicable listing criteria by Nov. 14. Shares rose 41% Monday after the company reported debt-for-equity exchange agreements with two promissory notes holders.
Exicure last week said it regained compliance with the $1 minimum bid price requirement after previously disclosing several Nasdaq deficiency notices.
In September 2022, the biotechnology company said it would suspend pre-clinical activities, halt all research and development, and would explore strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value.
